Awkward friendship – 2

For anybody who is new to my blog or don’t know much about me, I should tell you that I was disturbingly weird and I had two working parents which gave me ample amount of time to goof around and stay weird. So my entire childhood I liked to be by myself and observe people and never wanted to get close to or open up to anybody or anyone. My friends “gang” included me and another person, so technically it’s not even a gang, its two people. It was during my 7th grade, I started getting very close to one of my friend and his name was Akash. Akash shifted to Kerala from Goa when he was a small kid, so he pretty much knew Malayalam very well. Even though Akash was a boy I never considered him to be of a different gender because he pretty much looked like me, small and insignificant. Akash would always have his hair combed neatly and it would be parted towards one side which sometimes gave me the impression that his parents gelled his hair way too much. What I liked about Akash was his teeth, they were so tiny and wide apart it made him look adorable when he smiled. He had dark green eyes which would flicker and brighten up in the sunlight that it becomes difficult to stop staring at them. He was always a good listener and whenever I was feeling low, he was always there for me. The way he would make impressions of others would always end up making me laugh so hard.

Even though he was a good guy, he always felt insecure about our relationship and had a feeling that I do not give him enough attention. To be frank, I secretly felt good that someone is craving for my attention and never wanted to let go of him. There were also some days I would not talk to him and he would be okay with it and then there were those awful days where he would create a chaos in the house. But I was able to manage everything for almost three years.

But something happened between Akash and I that changed out friendship forever. It was during my 9th grade in school and I was starting to get very close to my friends from school. My small “gang” slowly started expanding and now it consisted of around four to five people and we would always end up staying over for combined study and weekend fun. I had so much of studying to do and I slowly started coming out of my shell, but by this time my relationship with Akash had changed into something else.

As usual after a hectic day at school, I took the house keys from my 20 kilo school bag and opened the door to my apartment. I was drained and all I wanted to do was freshen-up and hog mom’s food and close my eyes on the couch, but before I could do all that Akash came into the living room.

AK: “Hey”
ME: “Oh hi”
AK: “Do you remember me?”
ME: “OF course I do, gosh aren’t you little over-dramatic today.”
AK: “It’s been one week since you and I spoke. Every time I try to talk to you there is always an excuse from your side.”
ME: “Well, I have a lot to study, Akash and moreover I am in the 9th grade now, you know how much I suck at math. I
need to try and get better at least before the boards next year.”

AK: “SO?? That would make you forget me? Remember, I was your only friend when you had nobody with you. I was there for you. I would listen to your stupid stories and complains and never have I ever tried to put you down.”
ME: “I’m not trying to put you down here, I’m just busy with studies. And recently..”
AK: “YES!! What is happening recently, TELL ME!!”
ME: “Umm..You know what, it’s nothing. forget it.”
AK: “NO, I want to know, what is it?? All this while I thought I knew everything about you, all your secrets  and your thoughts and now you are trying to hide it from me?? Just say what is in your mind.”
ME: “Okay, You really want to know? Lately I’m ashamed of what is happening. With you and me.”
AK: “Ashamed?? Is it because I am your friend that nobody knows about?? Or is it because I’m a fraction of your      imagination.”
ME: “Well, yeah. Last week, I think my brother saw me talking to you in the room. Already he thinks I’m his creepy little sister and I would like to change all that. And I actually have friends now, Akash, real ones. And I can’t just talk to you and sit all day long anymore.”
AK:  “Okay okay, so that is how it’s going to be. Maybe one day you will regret this decision, I don’t know. But until then I’m never coming back.”
ME: “Do you really want to go that extreme, after all you are my imagination. I can bring you back anytime I want, buddy.”
AK: “Fine!! But if I ever come, I’ll come with my other friends and hang out with them and make YOU insecure, you imbecile ignorant little monkey!!”
ME: “HAAAW, HOW DARE YOU!! BYE.”
AK: “GOOD-BYE.”

I can tell you all that one thing did happen, he came back after a few years and did exactly what he threatened to do. And that story is for another day. 🙂
